5-Day Lamu & Masai Mara Fly-In Safari
Every safari company sells bush and beach. This is ours, and we are convinced it is the best version in Kenya: two nights among the lions of the Masai Mara, then two in Lamu, a seven-hundred-year-old island town where donkeys outnumber cars and dhows still work the channel under sail.
Everything moves by light aircraft, so no day is lost to the road. You trade the resort-strip beach experience for something with real texture: coral-stone houses, grilled seafood eaten barefoot, the call to prayer drifting over the rooftops at dusk, and an empty beach that runs further than you will walk. Soft bags only, fifteen kilos, and we handle every transfer in between.

Tour Plan
A forty-five minute hop from Wilson Airport lands you on a Mara airstrip in time for lunch and an afternoon game drive.
Dawn and late-afternoon drives with the camp's resident guides, among the highest big-cat densities in Africa.
Morning flights via Nairobi to Manda airstrip, then a short boat ride to Shela and an afternoon on the twelve-kilometre beach.
A guided morning in the carved-door alleys of Lamu Old Town, the oldest living Swahili settlement in East Africa, then a sunset dhow sail down the channel.
A slow Shela morning before the flight back to Nairobi and your onward connection.
